Tucson slow to start

[chooky]

Hi, I have a 2005 Tucson, V6 2.7 ltr. Sometimes it takes up to 10 turnovers before the thing starts. Usually it is when I try to start it when it is still warm, say after driving for more than 20mins then stopping. It's starts normally when cold. I have it serviced every 5000km and the battery is new. I asked them at the service to sort it out, and they said they checked the 'electricals' and everything was fine... but it 's not... a car shouldn't take ten turnovers to start... unless it's a model T.

Mine did that a few days after I replaced my fuel filter. The fuel pressure regulator thing thats in the tank had come a little loose.. letting fuel spill back into the tank. Not sure why it started alot easier cold but it was the same problem. It would fire eventually, but it took way to many turns. Maybe yours has gone bad? You will need a fuel pressure gauge to see if thats the problem.
